Kenya: reviews from our travellers

"The experiences (in particular gorilla trekking met all expectations and hopes). All arrangements within the trip went very smoothly. The local guides were very good. The hotel service was excellent." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 4 on a Kenya safari

"I keep saying that my next safari will be my last safari…other places to see and do, etc. etc. But I’m no sooner done with safari than it is done with me. I was already planning the next one on the 5th day of this one! And I know I’ll reach out to Richard. It could not be a more seamless, positive experience than dropping Richard an email and knowing he’ll get all the details right. And he does.

When I was unsure about combining Lewa and Ol Pejeta (I thought them to be too “samey”) he put my mind at ease and now that I’ve experienced them myself, he was absolutely right. His guidance and feedback are completely on point. This itinerary was wonderful and delivered on everything I’d hoped to see and do. Rhinos, varied landscapes, stunning camps, a return to my beloved Mara — this had it all.

I’ll drop you an email in a few months, Richard! Safari 2025 beckons!

"I have travelled on safari to East and Southern Africa on many occasions now.

This trip was one of the best with everything running like clockwork." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Kenya safari

"I had an incredible trip and would (and have) recommended Expert Africa and the locations I traveled to to others.

The animal sightings, which were the driving force behind my desire to travel to Kenya, were beyond my wildest dreams.

I felt escorted through each step on my itinerary, which was very important to me as I was traveling solo.

I greatly appreciated the support I received and plan to return to Africa in the not-so-distant future.

"A lovely holiday.

Lots of variety and we feel as if we have been away for a long time – always the sign of a good break, I think.

We wouldn’t change anything about the trip." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 20 on a Kenya safari

"I highly recommend Expert Africa: every aspect of the trip was organised to a tee and all the arrangement worked out.

Great advice on camps, locations, logistics, etc.

I usually plan all my own trips but after this experience would be happy to delegate to Expert Africa for future trips." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari

We absolutely loved every single day. Everything was seamlessly arranged by Expert Africa." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"My trip to Kenya (Dec 23 - Jan 24) was amazing and I had an exceptional time. I was delighted from the moment that I made initial contact with Claire Scott - Expert Africa to the conclusion of my trip. The safari was expertly organised and I enjoyed every moment.

Kenya, and the properties that I stayed at, gave me the most wonderful experiences. The people are amazing, friendly, kind and beyond welcoming. The camps exceptional, the scenery simply stunning and the wildlife opportunities breathtaking.

Sadly no Wild Dogs on this trip, but I was so fortunate to see Giza; a lioness carrying her cubs; a leopard with a cub; a bull elephant lying down in front of us and going to sleep; a sighting with 3 leopards and 2 male lions; an African Wild Cat; and so much more .... An amazing trip, with incredible memories. I met so many like minded people, wide-eyed and in awe of what this amazing country has to offer.

I can not thank enough Claire, Expert Africa, Kicheche, Laikipia Wilderness, and everyone who made this trip happen. I am already planning my next trip. Claire, let's talk!" Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 17 on a Kenya safari

"Overall our trip was excellent.

Looking back, perhaps the most wonderful thing was the feeling that someone was in control and we didn’t have to worry about anything.

It was wonderful. Thanks a lot!!!" Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari

"This was a bucket list trip and celebration of my daughter beating cancer so Richard really got to know us and what we were looking for and then built a truly extraordinary adventure in Kenya that blew away any expectations we could have had.

Everything was effortless except for getting shillings out of an ATM which was a big fail but besides that the trip couldn't have been easier thanks to all the upfront planning work and the recommendations, guides, literature and everything provided by Richard and the Expert Africa team.

I have already shared this info with many friends considering a trip and will continue to do so. THANK YOU!
